Back on 10 March I made a rare posting to this list. I was primarily responding to the query from Tim Wegner about the platform, graphics, and monitor that people use. I said that I am a lurker and I have been subscribed to the Fractint list since 1991, and have followed it closely ever since. I did say to Albrecht that I greatly enjoy his fractals, as I have for more than twenty years those from Jim Muth. I also passed my thanks to the Stone Soup group. My message sparked some correspondence off the list with Hal Lane, mostly about things other than fractals. In turn this prompts me to say a BIG THANK YOU to The Stone Soup Group, and those like Tim Wegner who are still working away Others like Richard who have built new software All those like Jim Muth, Paul Lee and Hal Lane who have discovered fractals, enhanced them, and maintained great web sites, and now of course Albrecht People like Jack of Iradez who have posted animations (I especially like those with baroque music) ... and the rest of the Fractint community.
